    Fighting Harada
    Pancho Villa
    Khaosai Galaxy
    Flash Elorde
    Hiroyuki Ebihara

    Honourable mention to Pongsaklek Wonjongkam who is still active and closing in on Galaxy's defense record.

    Ben Villaflor

    * 2-Time WBA Super-Featherweight Champion
    * April 25, 1972 thru March 12, 1973
    * October 17, 1973 thru October 16, 1976
    * Successfully defended Title '6' times

    Born in the Philippines, but fought out of Hawaii.

    Yes, a 'great' fighter. Fought the last 2-Years of his career with a damaged
    eye and badly injured hands.

    A power-punching southpaw, who applied relentless pressure.

    Retired at {Age; 23 years, 11 months} because of the injuries.

    Never stopped in his career, while going 56-6-0 {31 KO's}.

    Thanks Bean-Man,

    Ben Villaflor had major problems with his left-wrist, and right-hand.

    He also suffered a 'detached retina' in his right-eye on March 13, 1975 in his
    WBA Super-Featherweight Title defense with Hyun-Chi Kim in The Philippines.

    Ben caught a thumb in the right-eye, and went blind for 5-days.

    Saensak Muangsurin

    'The Shadow of the Devil'

    Great southpaw Light-Welterweight out of Thailand.

    Won the WBC Light-Welterweight Championship in only his 3rd-bout.

    Had a record of 2-0-0 {2 KO's}, and only 8-Rounds of 'conventional' Boxing ring experience
    when he fought and defeated {KO 8} WBC Champion - Perico Fernandez on July 15, 1975

    Unfortunately suffered a 'bad' injury to his right-eye in 'back-to-back' Title Defenses on
    December 30, 1977 against Jo Kimpuani, and April 8, 1978 against Francisco Moreno.

    Was never the same, as he fought with only one good-eye {left-eye]. He could not see
    out of his right-eye from mid-1978 and on.

    Was supposed to defend his Title against Esteban Dejesus in September 1978, but he
    had to undergo a 2nd eye operation and had to postpone the bout.

    I think the key is definitely steroids. Manny and Galaxy were definitely on the juice and they are the two greatest.

    How can you say Galaxy was on drugs? Stop making this stuff up.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Most I can do is speculate as well..maybe PED that allowed Pac to train harder? But as far as for power/muscles- his start at such a small weight simply denies that type of use. Pac was starching fighters since day one.
